Cancel batch management

Hi,expert
I maitained a material with batch management, I want to cancel batch managment now. But I have do the goods reciept and the batch number is already created. Even I cancel the goods reciept, MSC2N set the deletion flag for this batch number.the system still not allow me to change the setting.
What can I do now? Can I switch to non-batch mangement?

Wang,
In standard SAP there is no option, except to Archive and Delete the current Batch Records. Once the batch records are deleted, then you would be allowed to deactivate the Batch Management for the material.
Please refer OSS Notes#533383.

Batch Management Level

Hi all,
Batch management drives us difficulty, all finished goods have a batch number in our system. But cause of this our system grows fastly and process management is so difficult. We think about cancelling batch management and use serial number management for product trace. But one of my friends offers me for managing batches as production order level. This means each production order (material differs) will have batch number and at trace the materials with serial number.
I want to know the effects of batch level to the system. For example it's useful to cancel batch management for system growth. Or have we use batch management at one level like production order level? For CO side, it's useful for using batches as production level or completely cancel batch management ?
Thanks,

It appears that you are referirng to an organization which follows discrete manufacturing techniques, where the individual finished item needs to be uniquely identifiable, which is probably satisfied by batches. Your concern of batch numbers getting exhausted is pertitent, given the limitation of 10 character for the batch number.
If I try to compare the pros and cons of serial numbers vis a vis batch numbers, here are the points
- Batch numbers have the obvious limitation of 10 characters, serial numbers allow 18
- Batches are normally used in process industry (pharma, food etc), serial numbers are linked to equipments, and have the functionality to check the status at the client level (within which plant/sloc, with customer etc)
- Tracing the history of a serial number becomes easier (particularly useful in case of customer returns / repairs)
- Serial numbers are unique, you can have multiple units of a particular batch.
About the question of getting rid of batches altogether, I feel that when serial numbers are present, batches will only lead to additional entry in all movements. Moreover, they will only be redundant, unless you plan to group a few items (serial numbers) into a single batch.
From the CO side, I feel that the production order is the CO object, and hence all costs are accumulated against the order. I do not think having a batch will help from the CO perspective.

Material forgot to tick the batch management but the GR and IR is done

Hello,
Material A should be in batch managed but the settings in the material master is forgot to ticked. PO is created as well as GR and IR is already completed. The invoice is posted and according to finance it is paid already and cannot cancel the invoice anymore. When trying to tick the batch management in the material master, an error is "Stocks already exist at plant level". Checking also MMBE, stocks showing in the Open Order quantity since the GR is cancelled.
Is there anyway I can tick the batch managed in the material master?

to set the indicator is less restrictiv than removing it. so just make the inventory in current and previous period zero.
you can see how much inventory you have in thosee 2 periods in MM03 valuation view or plant stock view.
follow instructions given in oss note 30656

Activation of batch management -Uploading and creation of new materialBATCH

Dear All,
Good day !!!
We have activated Batch management in our business, whcih was running without BATCH management Active before.Now we have activated the batch management ,Automatic in case of GR creation and by FIFO basis in case of goods movement and SD and PP modules also.
Now every transactions and data are working properly. But we need clarity on the master data upload and inventory upload.
Suppose if we need to carry out the for the same material Batch to be activated or whether we need to go for new material and batch management active , Pleaes clarify on the process and also how we could upload the existing inventory from the existing NON Batch material into BATCH material (Which is created wholly as a new materail with batch)
KIndly provide on the above 2 points which would be helpful for our business.
Thanks and Regards,
Amol.

Hi
I think with the help of FI create a dummy cost centre and issue the material to the cost centre ,
Look no Purchase requisitions or purchase orders are open on the material
activate batch management to material and using 202 movement get back the material .
as the process is very tedious use the help of badis for updating and cancellation if required
this may be only process for activating new batches for material

Problem with batch management indicator

Hi Gurus,
I have an issue with batch management.
There is one material which was not batch managed. The requirement was to make it batch managed. There were no open purchase orders and the only thing pending was the stock in the present and previous periods. The stock quantity in the previous period and the present period matched(470 Kg). I opened the previous posting period, used movement type 551 and scrapped the stock. There was zero stock for the current period and the present period.
I changed the batch management indicator successfully. Now the issue is whil i am trying to cancel the material document
1. Now that the material is batch managed, whie trying to cancel the material document using MIGO, the system prompts for a batch to be entered. But the batch field is greyed out and i am not able to enter a batch
2. I have tried to cancel the material document using MBST and MIGO. The sytem prompts for a batch to be entered but not allowing me to do so as the batch field is greyed out.
Any pointers will be appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Sajin

Hi Sajin,
What is a reason to cancel a material document? When was that material document created? Before or after flagging the indicator in the material master?

Batch Managment Indicator

Hello,
I want to remove batch managment indicator in material master record.
I got info that there is an archiving process to be done using t code MSC2N and SARA and after that indicator can be removed.
But before that pre requisites is there should not be any open document. Stock report MMBE shows that no stock present but still not able to un check the indicator as there are purchasing/Material documents present.
How can i find those documents...
Regards
Himanshu
Edited by: Himanshu Nijhawan on Jul 11, 2011 8:42 AM

hi..
try thisout..
Remove all stock.
Cancel all demand, no requisitions, no purchase orders,
production orders etc. Transaction MD04 must be empty.
Use transaction MSC2N to place a deletion indicator on every
past batch for that material prior to the end of your fiscal period or
month.
Run transaction MM74 to archive the "flagged for deletion" batch
numbers.
In the next period or month go to transaction MM02 and remove
the batch flag from the material master.
hope it works.
Thanks..

Material Subject to Batch Management

Dear All,
In production client, the user by mistake has put the tick for batch management while creating material.Actually, the material was not subject to batch management.
Later, PO was created. At the time of GR against this PO, the store clerk could not recognise that the batch has been created while doing MIGO.
Afterwards the store incharge found this. We reversed the material document and tried to correct the material by removing the tick.
Now issue is the batch mangement tick in material master is not getting removed though we have reversed/cancell the material document.
We have no stocks of the material. This was the first time created material. This was the only GR which happened and that we have already reversed. No goods issue has been done. There is no subsequent document to it. No invocie has been done.
This problem was identifed immediately after the MIGO.
We have tried everything the batch management tick is not getting removed.
Pl provide solution.
Regards

Hi,
DF - deletion flag (the trush bin in ME22N)
It is interesting that you did GR and you have no stock... No stock means that not only 'no stock' at the moment, but any day from the last day of the previous period till now.
If you did GR 2 days ago you had stock on that day.
In this case you'd better cancel the goods movement. And it was also told that no stock is not enough (e.g. your batch master exists and it has to be archived).
Please try to change and check what SAP says.

Csaba

Converting from non-batch to batch management

Hi guys,
Can you tell what is the best strategy to convert a system from non-batch managed to batch managed? Batch management should have been implemented from the start, but my client just realized that mistake. This is knowing that we already have inventory and all kinds of transactional data: purchase orders, sales order, production orders...
I am looking for the less painfull strategy, as detailed as possible.
Thank you.
Fotso

HI,
Hi,
Procedure to be followed to activate Batch Management for Materials: -
1. Mark Deletion Flag for all the Open Purchasing Documents of Materials
2. Technical Completion of Production Orders to cancel open Reservations of Materials
3. Create a Dummy Material for Material (Batch Management Active)
4. Generate details of Unrestricted Stock of Materials as per Bill of Entry
5. Transfer Stock of Materials to Dummy Material using Movement Type "309" in previous period (Stock will be transferred Bill of Entry wise)
6. Activate batch Management for Materials
7. Transfer Stock from Dummy Material to Materials
Note: -
1) If there is stock available in previous period and also stock available in current period then Transfer Posting from Material to Material can be done directly in previous period. (Comparison of Tables MARD and MARDH)
2) In case if there is stock in previous period but no stock available in current period then we have to post an initial stock entry using movement type "561" to generate stock in current period (Here Quantity = Stock in Previous period)
3) Reverse these Material Documents in previous period
There are several SAP notes that give some useful information:
30656 Change base unit of measure/batch mngt requirement
533383 Resetting batch management requirement
533377 Conversion of batch level
I hope this helps!
Thanks & Regards,

Material Control by ( Batch Management)

Hi,
I'm trying to control the material raw by batch management, I have some questions?
Do you know why in material master after that I flag the box ( batch management) and save the systems no available I to cancel the box (bacth management).
PS: The stock to be " ZERO".
PS2: Display error (Batches already exist)
The SAP no available the I change type control when I will want? and with stock zero??
Thank for any help about this issue.
Armando

Not sure what you are trying to ask here.
For batch management you need following config after material master setting:
make sure stock is Zero for that materiral and no open purchasing document
This will help you for config setting:

Switching ON Batch Management

Hi Gurus,
Need your help. I am sure you have done this before
In a live system, I need to switch ON Batch Management. Till now these materials were managed without Batch Management. So they have stock on hand, open sales orders, open deliveries, open invoices, open purchase orders.
When I try to change the indicator in MM02, it lists all those open transactional data. I possibly have to reverse/cancel all those open orders etc - then write off the stock - then switch on batch management - then finally re-enter all the open orders.
But to do it manually is a monumental task. Also, it needs to be done in a very short time frame. Can you please suggest any program or automated/semi-automated way to do it.
Or is there any other smarter way you can suggest.
I appreciate your help.
Regards
Bis

Hi Venkat,
Thanks a lot for your suggested notes. They are helpful indeed.
Would you by any chance know of any report that I can run for a range of materials which will list all the open documents, ie, sales orders, deliveries, billing documents ?
And, other than MM03, is there any report which will list the stock in previous period ?
Thanks again.
Regards
BP

Batch Management Requirement - SD document

hi all,
I am trying to activate batch management in MM02. But it has error:
SD documents exist (orders or deliveries) that have not yet been processed or that have been processed only in part.
It lists two SD document: one SO and one DN
This is the only error the system gives. I am sure the material has no inventory in previous period and this period and no other outstanding document
Then I changed the DN qty to 0, posted it
And I changed the SO qty to 0 or reject the SO item
But system keep giving the above error
Could anyone advise?
Thanks

hai;
First you have to cancel the DN .Take VL09.Reverse the goods movement then take VL02 select the document and delete the items from it and save.
Then goto VA02 and type the SO number and delete the item .and save it.
Now the stock will be greater than zero.
Once again make it as zero and activate the batch management.
Hope this will serve you better
regards.

How to remove Batch Management in the Material

Hi All,
The Batch Management indicator for a Material was accidentally activated, thus upon goods movement the system required user to enter a Batch Number. The user, not knowing the implications, entered a Batch Number.
Now we want to remove the Batch Management indicator, I already asked the user to reverse the goods movement posted and have the Batch Number flagged for deletion at both Plant and Storage Location Level via MSC2N.
MM02 still won't allow the removal of the tick mark in the indicator.
There are options I have looked at:
1) Create a new Material Code in place of the old one.
2) Archive the Batch Number then try to remove the tick mark via MM02 - will this even work out?
But the priority is still to retain the same Material Code. Is there any other way/option?
Thanks a lot!!! =)

It is a little painful but here are the basic steps.
Remove all stock.
Cancel all demand, no requisitions, no purchase orders,
production orders etc. Transaction MD04 must be empty.
Use transaction MSC2N to place a deletion indicator on every
past batch for that material prior to the end of your fiscal period or
month.
Run transaction MM74 to archive the "flagged for deletion" batch
numbers.
In the next period or month go to transaction MM02 and remove
the batch flag from the material master.
hope it helps

Batch Management and serial Number Management

Hi Friends,
I have a an issue.
We are using Batch management and serial number for few materials.
While selecting F4 for checking available batch numbers and serial numbers during issues , transfer posting,stock transfer etc.., system dispalys all Batches/Serial numbers which are created for that particular material. i.e all Batches and serial numbers irrespective of whether there are stocks available , whether they are cancelled/deleted will appear in the list
Our requirement is when F4 is selected system should list only live/existing batch numbers and serial numbers of that particular material.
Can any one help us
Thx
Deva

Hi Ramesh,
Thanks for your input.
However my requirement is instead of going to separate T.code IQ09 , user wants to list the existing Batch/Ser no details while selecting F4 during issues
Thx
Deva

Cost(vprs) of free goods with batch managment

Dear Gurus,
I have a problem ahout free goods with batch management.
Cost(VPRS) is not accumulated in billing(free goods is not relevant for billing).
My configurations are shown as below:
Ordered goods (and batch) item category :zta1(copied from tan)
Free goods (and batch) item category :zann (copied from tann) pricing:B ;not relevant for billing;dermination cost:X
copy control(from delivery to billing):
ztan: accumulation cost :X
If I use the material without batch management,Cost of free goods(without batch) is accumulated to main item(ordered goods).
So, what can I do?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Lykin Kan

Hi,
These notes are useful:
SAP Note 1365939 - VPRS logic and Customizing settings in SD
SAP Note 547570 - FAQ: VPRS in pricing
If you have the problem in the transfer from SD conditions to CO-PA, check if you transfer only invoices to COPA, if you don't invoice the deliveries of free goods, then you don't transfer this 'sales' or costs of 'gifts' to COPA. You can check the customizing of COPA in tcode ORKE (IMG for COPA). SAP Note 74486 - INFO: Overview of consulting notes for CO-PA is a good summary about this issue.
I hope this helps you

Eduardo

Error while importing N Accounts to 1 Address with UCM Batch Manager

Hi,
I got a problem with importing Accounts using the UCM Batch Manager. Previous steps were loading the EIM Tables EIM_UCM_ORG and EIM_UCM_ADRPER. To associate addresses I used the column EIM_UCM_ADRPER.PAR_UCM_ACCNT_UID. No errors occured during an Enterprise Integration Mgr jobs to load the data into SDH tables.
The error described below occurs if I have N Accounts using one Address. Example:
